Shoulder Conditions

A shoulder injury can happen during sports such as tennis, baseball, or swimming, or during heavy overhead lifting. You may experience reduced shoulder strength, pain, and limited movement in your shoulder joint when it becomes inflamed. Many shoulder conditions are caused by ligament, tendon, or cartilage problems. Shoulder bursitis and rotator cuff injuries are among the most common shoulder conditions.

Does your shoulder pain get worse with overhead activities (arm above head height)? Do you have pain in your shoulder while sleeping? Shoulder pain is typically noticed on the outside of the shoulder or upper arm muscles. If you are experiencing shoulder pain that won’t go away, it’s time to give us a call.
